RedCircle VERIFY_TOKEN_37fc8096-ef53-4594-9078-6f320264997f -- Rendered At Fri, 06 Nov 2026 17:44:57 +0000 Death by Inches https://redcircle.com/shows/creative-genus-audio en Walt Batycki Creative Genus Audio Our first offering is the complete 34 episode horror audio drama Death By Inches: Emotional Baggage. Eavesdrop on voice mail from poor Ryan as he renovates an isolated mansion. By the time he realizes he's not alone, unearthly fog and floodwaters trap him. Why are there hidden rooms in the attic? What's in the mysterious trunk surrounded by arcane symbols? How come gaps in Ryan's memory are replaced by nightmare scenes? Will he fall victim to the supernatural or starve first? Ghosts are bad, but there are worse terrors. It's our past that haunts us most. It's going to be a long Halloween. 37fc8096-ef53-4594-9078-6f320264997f Death by Inches: Emotional Baggage is a complete 34-episode horror audio drama told through the answering-machine messages of a man trapped alone in an isolated old mansion.

Ryan came to the house for a job. Then the storm arrived. The roads disappeared beneath floodwater and unnatural fog. Hidden rooms begin turning up in the attic. A mysterious trunk is surrounded by arcane symbols. Ryan wakes after missing stretches of time with disturbing evidence that something happened while he was gone.

And he may not be alone.

Part haunted-house story, part psychological horror, part occult mystery, Emotional Baggage combines Gothic horror, cosmic dread, analog-horror atmosphere and immersive sound design in a modern supernatural audio drama about guilt, memory and the things we can never quite escape.

Is the house haunted? Is Ryan losing his mind? Is something demonic or ancient reaching for him—or has his own past finally caught up with him?

The answers are there.

Originally created as an experimental serial unfolding across October toward Halloween, the complete story now runs 34 episodes and more than four hours.

Headphones recommended.

Ghosts are bad. There are worse things.

It’s going to be a long Halloween.

The actual very end of the story! It's still Halloween night for poor Ryan, but maybe not for too much longer. Spoiler?: Yes, we see inside the trunk! If you haven't heard any of this story, then I urge you to start at episode one so it makes sense. This is the terrifying tale of a poor soul with a tragic past of his own making as he faces mind shattering horrors in an isolated old mansion. This experimental horror audio drama serial was partially scripted and partially improvised. It was initially meant as a challenge to create and release a chapter every day of October with the big finish on Halloween night- alas, illness and life complications got in my way --along with the fact that my vision of the tale began to take form in much longer episodes than I originally intended.

Yes: we finally see what is inside.

This is the conclusion of the complete 34-episode immersive horror audio drama, bringing together Gothic horror, psychological terror, supernatural mystery, occult dread and the consequences of Ryan’s tragic past.

No cheap non-ending. No “maybe none of it happened” escape hatch.

One episode remains.

Halloween night continues.

So does Ryan’s nightmare.

Part 32 of Death by Inches: Emotional Baggage carries the finale forward as the old mansion becomes the setting for the answers—and horrors—the entire series has been building toward.

Ryan is trapped inside a story involving supernatural forces, missing memories, old guilt and something far stranger than the ghost story he might once have preferred.

This is the second movement of the extended finale. The mystery is now deep in spoiler territory, so we’ll leave it there.

The beginning of the end.

It is Halloween night, and Ryan’s ordeal is entering its final stage.

The questions that have haunted Death by Inches: Emotional Baggage from the beginning can no longer remain safely unanswered. The house, the supernatural threat surrounding Ryan and the guilt buried in his past are converging.

Part 31 launches the multi-part finale of this immersive horror audio drama, blending Gothic terror, psychological horror, occult mystery and analog-horror-style recorded storytelling.

Do not start here unless you enjoy being magnificently confused.

I apologize for the delay but I guess being sick for so long really did knock me for a loop. Also, as this has been a very experimental series, the episodes have been getting longer and longer as I near the finish-- this is so that I can adequately pay off what has been set up and tie up loose ends. If you&#39;ve ever worked on a project like this, you know it takes more time to refine and edit work to make it shorter-- and I was hustling daily to try and be done by Halloween! This show was barely scripted and was about 70% improvised during recording. I&#39;ve been working on the show for 6-10 hours a day every single day since September 29th, so trust me, I haven&#39;t been asleep at the wheel-- though at times I was asleep with a fever just like the one poor Ryan had. Anyway, enjoy! I&#39;ll get the final episode out within the next day or two!

Everything has been leading toward Halloween.

Now Halloween has arrived.

Death by Inches: Emotional Baggage Part 30 begins the story’s extended climax as Ryan’s ordeal inside the mansion reaches a new level of intensity and the mysteries surrounding the house, his missing time and his own past demand answers.

This longer chapter pushes the immersive horror audio drama toward its final confrontation, combining Gothic haunted-house terror, psychological horror, occult mystery and supernatural dread.

If you’ve come this far, you know better than to expect an easy night.

EPISODE 15 — PART 15

Halfway through October, Ryan’s job at the old mansion feels very different from the one he accepted.

Death by Inches: Emotional Baggage Part 15 pushes deeper into psychological horror, supernatural dread and Gothic mystery through immersive answering-machine recordings.

There is something wrong with this place.

The harder question is why Ryan is here to experience it.

Ryan has taken a job inspecting and repairing an isolated old mansion. At first, his answering-machine messages sound almost ordinary. They won’t stay that way.

Death by Inches: Emotional Baggage begins here: a complete supernatural horror audio drama told through the recorded messages of a man whose lonely October job gradually becomes something far more dangerous.

Part haunted-house story, part psychological horror and part occult mystery, the series combines Gothic atmosphere, analog-horror-style found audio and immersive sound design.

This is Part 1 of 34. Start here.

🎧 Headphones recommended.
